Meditating on the themes of madness & reality, Soboleva constructs mysterious narratives with ominous overtones & absurd humor
Julia Soboleva is a Latvian mixed-media artist based in the UK. Her process involves painting & collage on found photographic imagery. Meditating on the themes of madness & reality, Soboleva constructs mysterious narratives with ominous overtones & absurd humor. Julia was born & raised in a post-Soviet era & without being able to find her own place against the complicated past of her nation, she explores the notions of family, taboo & trans-generational trauma in her work. She obtained a Master's Degree in Illustration at Manchester School of Art in 2018, & has gone on to work as an educator & freelance designer.
